The current study analyzed whether the enhancement in managerial ability accelerates the environmental, social, and economic sustainability practices or not. Using panel data methodology on Chinese listed firms data from 2010 to 2019, we report that CEOs' managerial ability impacts the overall (environmental, social, and economic) sustainability practices of the firms positively. Moreover, we find that social sustainability and economic sustainability also increase with the increase of the CEO's managerial ability in the firm. The results remain robust after several alternative empirical tests. The findings justify the relationship between management skills and sustainability and demonstrate how each one of the sustainability pillars is affected individually. The support for sustainability practices that can be achieved through the communication of management skills is an essential conclusion for practitioners. Findings establish the link between CEO's managerial ability and environmental, social, and economic sustainability performance by taking insights from upper echelon theory.
本研究分析了管理层能力的提升是否会加速环境、社会和经济可持续性实践。我们使用 2010 年至 2019 年中国上市公司的数据的面板数据方法，报告称 CEO 的管理能力对公司的整体（环境、社会和经济）可持续性实践有积极影响。此外，我们发现社会可持续性和经济可持续性也随着公司 CEO 管理能力的提高而增加。在经过几次替代实证检验后，结果仍然稳健。研究结果证实了管理技能与可持续性之间的关系，并展示了每个可持续性支柱是如何单独受到影响的。通过沟通管理技能来支持可持续性实践，这对从业者来说是一个重要的结论。本研究通过高层梯队理论的视角，发现了 CEO 管理能力与环境、社会和经济可持续性绩效之间的联系。
